La Liga

November 26, 2025 (Wednesday) – 21:00 (9:00 PM) local time in Athens

Mbappé explodes for four goals — including a seven-minute hat-trick — as Real Madrid win a chaotic 4–3 thriller away to Olympiacos in Champions League Matchday 5.

Real Madrid entered the match with nine points from four games, aiming to bounce back after suffering their first UCL loss of the season to Liverpool. Xabi Alonso went full-strength, starting Mbappé and Vinícius Jr. in Athens.

Olympiacos struck first in the 8th minute, but the game flipped instantly once Mbappé caught fire. In the 22nd minute he raced onto Vinícius’s through ball to level, then headed in a second just two minutes later from Arda Güler’s cross. By the 29th minute, he had completed a stunning hat-trick in only seven minutes, finishing Kamavinga’s floated pass with a cool right-footed strike.

Early in the second half Olympiacos pulled one back, but Mbappé answered again in the 60th minute. Vinícius carved through the left side and squared the ball for Mbappé to slot home his fourth, restoring Madrid’s two-goal cushion.

Olympiacos scored late to make it 4–3, but Madrid held on for a vital away win.

Next up: Olympiacos travel to Kairat on December 9, while Real Madrid host Manchester City the following day.

Final Score:
Olympiacos 3–4 Real Madrid

1–0 Ciquinho (8’)
1–1 Mbappé (22’)
1–2 Mbappé (24’)

“Social Media Reactions”

International Fans

• “Mbappé is just unreal, man.”

• Madrid’s defense was so bad it almost overshadowed Mbappé dropping FOUR. That’s impressive in the worst way.

• Olympiacos pressing high and forcing mistakes out of Güler and Valverde was wild.

• Valverde “made two mistakes”? Bro, that’s nothing. None of them were fatal either.

• Somehow, Bayern and Madrid still feel destined to go deep again. Football is scripted.

• “Is Alonso already struggling at Madrid? Lost to Liverpool and conceded three to Olympiacos?”
→ Players want freedom and he’s bringing structure. Of course they’re annoyed.

• If Mbappé wins the World Cup AND the UCL Golden Boot, just hand him the Ballon d’Or already.
→ No Madrid player has ever won a World Cup WHILE playing for Madrid, though.
→ Not even Messi or Ronaldo managed that—let’s chill with the expectations.

• Mbappé scoring four is insane, but conceding three to a Greek club is… not ideal. Trent + Güler + Asensio on the pitch at the same time is basically a defensive cheat code… for the opponent.

• Mbappé is still basically a cheat code, huh? lol

• Olympiacos lost, but scoring three on Madrid? Mendilibar cooking something crazy. Barca roasted him, though lmao.

• Apparently Madrid had never won on Greek soil before today. Took them eight tries.

Real Madrid Fans

• Finally got our first win in Greece. Took long enough.

• We won… but somehow came out more worried than before. Classic Madrid.

• Tactical coaches never work at Madrid. Zidane-style motivators fit this club way better.

• 12 points and still only 5th in the league phase. Arsenal the only perfect record. lol

• Honestly, this is the kind of match that makes you think keeping Ancelotti would’ve been fine. Give the man money and let him cook.

• Vinícius + Mbappé up top is cool, but Bellingham and Valverde look way less comfortable now. Valverde lost his aggressiveness.

• Just rotate Ancelotti and Zidane forever at this point.

• Firing Ancelotti was fair — his tactics felt done. But I didn’t expect Alonso to struggle this much.

• Ceballos’s passes were criminally weak today. Olympiacos were hunting him.

• When leading, Ceballos is supposed to slow the game and control tempo. He was invisible today.

• At the very least, the club must sign the controlling midfielder Alonso has been begging for. If that doesn’t help, then yeah… maybe time to move on.

• It’s crazy how we’re top of La Liga and doing fine in the UCL, yet the vibes are so negative. Only Madrid fans can pull this off.

• Beating Liverpool would’ve solved half this negativity, honestly.

• Losing to Liverpool was one thing, but not being able to beat top non-La Liga teams is the real issue. And Alonso keeps saying he won’t use lazy runners but then plays them anyway.

• Outside of Mbappé, no one looks like scoring. Bellingham + Güler clash in roles, and Valverde still looks out of sync.

• Fede was great at the CWC…
→ Yeah, because Bellingham wasn’t there yet.

• Güler assisted but still had a rough game. The CB pairing was makeshift, but man, they gotta fix these lapses.

• It’s not even about tactics anymore — half the team looks like they’re ignoring Alonso.
→ Nah, they’re pressing exactly as he tells them to. The same late-game sloppiness has been there since the Ancelotti era.

• Alonso-ball is fine against weaker teams. But against big teams, please, PLEASE play that “Clásico style” setup again — at least we looked competitive.
